How do I transfer my GLP-1 prescription between pharmacies?

Transferring GLP-1 prescriptions between pharmacies is straightforward but requires coordination. First, verify the receiving pharmacy has your medication in stock at your specific dose - there's no point transferring if they can't fill it. Contact the new pharmacy and request a transfer - provide: your name, date of birth, medication name and dose, and the phone number of your current pharmacy. The new pharmacy will call your current pharmacy to request the prescription transfer. Most transfers take 1-2 business hours, though busy pharmacies may take longer. Transfers can only occur if you have remaining refills on the original prescription. If your prescription has no refills remaining, your provider must send a new prescription to the new pharmacy rather than transferring. Some states have restrictions on controlled substance transfers, though GLP-1s aren't controlled substances. Your insurance follows you to the new pharmacy - your copay should remain the same. Once the transfer is complete, the new pharmacy becomes your pharmacy of record for future refills. You can always transfer back if needed.
